### What if I see application hangs after a hipLaunchKernel call?
If hipLaunchKernel takes parameters that request explicitly memcpy, then it will cause application hang.
Reason is that the hipLaunchKernel macro locks the stream.
If kernel paramters are actually function calls which invoke other hip apis (i.e. memcpy) to the same stream, then deadlock occurs.
To workaround, try:
Move the function calls so they occur outside the hipLaunchKernel macro, store results in temps, then use the tems inside the kernel.
